Starting in fiscal year 2023, the Anchorage School District will pay for 75% of its School Resource Officer program, a shift of more than $2 million dollars from the municipality to the school district. The city had fully funded the program since 2015.

“The Municipality of Anchorage remains committed to the safety and security of our students, teachers and Anchorage School District staff through this program,” Bronson said at Tuesday’s board meeting. ”... Our children deserve a safe and secure learning environment. Through the funding of this program, the municipality and the school district demonstrate our collaboration and commitment to our students’ safety and security.

Board member Andy Holleman added that past administrations have chosen to cut back funding from the police department and the school district stepped in with funding so the program could be maintained. Superintendent Deena Bishop countered she doesn’t “believe” the district receives either state funds or city funds “strictly to only instruct students.”
